<p>I got a 207 on my PSAT. I live in Florida, and according to CC the cut-off for semi-finalist last year was a 210. Is there any chance that the cutoff will drop three whole points, or am I wishing for something impossible? I can’t believe I missed it by 3 points, 1-2 questions. Ugh.</p>
<p>I hate to break the bad news to you, but stop wishing. See Florida’s historical cutoff scores here: [National</a> Merit Scholarships](<a href=“http://www.collegeplanningsimplified.com/NationalMerit.html]National”>http://www.collegeplanningsimplified.com/NationalMerit.html)</p>
<p>You don’t have to be a semi-finalist/finalist to do very well in college admissions. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yeah I know, I just wanted some scholarship money. Thanks for responding though.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that scholarship money isn’t even guaranteed to NMFs (depending, of course, on where you want to go.)</p>
<p>It is not worth dwelling on. Nice score by the way!</p>
<p>If you are even close to NMF, this means that you will likely do well on the SAT (hypothetically). It also hypothetically means that you would have a GPA that correlates, meaning it is good.</p>
<p>So you don’t get any guaranteed NMF money, but you will find a scholarship somewhere. There is money out there, just look hard!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
